Understanding Arc-Flash Calculations: Overcoming Challenges of Short-Circuit Standards

https://etap.com - Are you curious about the limitations of short-circuit standards and their inadequacy in addressing arc-flash incident energy calculations? In this presentation, we will review the challenges posed by these standards with an emphasis on IEC 60909-2016 and provide you with an explanation of ETAP arc-flash solutions to these limitations.

Learn how to combine IEC standards with renowned methodologies such as IEEE Std. 1584™ (AC) and stokes and Oppenlander (DC) to calculate arc-flash thermal incident energy. This presentation also addresses the challenges of ANSI and IEC SC standards for inverter-based resource generation and battery energy storage systems.
Key Points:
Discover the limitations of IEC short-circuit standards for arc-flash calculations.
Learn about the risks associated with disregarding arc-flash incidents.
Understand the various study options to merge IEC standards with industry-accepted methods.
Harness the power of IEEE Std. 1584™ “Decay” method based on IEC short-circuit current.
Improve your expertise in arc-flash incident energy calculations using international standards.
